The Qubes developers test Qubes OS on certain hardware models. The Qubes developers test Qubes OS on certain hardware models.
The tested hardware described on this page differs from [Qubes Certified Hardware] in a few key ways:
- Qubes Certified Hardware has to meet more demanding standards than hardware that is merely tested.
- All Qubes Certified Hardware is tested, but not all tested hardware is certified.
- A specific certified configuration is guaranteed to be supported on specific versions of Qubes OS, whereas hardware testing provides no guarantees.
In general, you can think of tested hardware as "unofficial recommended" hardware:
- [Qubes Certified Hardware] --- Qubes developer certified, officially recommended
- Hardware Testing (this page) --- Qubes developer tested, unofficially recommended
- [Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)] --- community test results, neither recommended nor disrecommended
